Mackenzie / Chisholm

[GMac]

Hello again,
                   Great grandfather Hector Mackenzie (Mellon Udrigle) married
Catherine Chisholm (Ormiscaig) on 4th march 1836.

Found this on Scotlands people.

 From several census years it appears Hector was born about 1805 and Catherine about 1810, the census years have also given me some information
on Hector and Catherine's children.

I am looking for help with any information on Hector or Catherine's parents or
family.
                    Cheers GMac

Hi

If they died after 1855, their death certs  with their parents names will be on the Scotland's People site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. It's pay to view but very reasonable.

Hi Gadget,
                 Thank you, I did'nt realise I would get that information from the death cert. I have had success from Scotlands People before so will try again.
I would assume that Catherine's death would be under her married name and not her M.S.

Hi

Usually it's under both.

If you have any problems, give a shout.

Hi GMac,

Did you have any luck with Hector & Catherine? I'm slowly putting together some trees about the Chisholms from Gairloch and am working on this couple at the moment. Catherine died 1900 at Opinan age 90. I have more details about Catherine's parents and grandparents if you need them.

Hoping to hear from you,

Ann

Hello again,

I just found John on the 1851 census age 4, with his parents and siblings, listed as Mckinzie, so that may narrow his date of birth for you.

Cheers,  AMH

Hi Ann,
           Thank you for the reply, yes I did have some luck with Catherine's death Cert. it had her as Kate with parents Roderick Chisholm and Christy Macgregor, I can't be sure but it appears she was the eldest of 6 children.
I also had some luck with Hectors death Cert. ,Scotlands people again, his death was in Opinan on the 6th December 1886 aged 91 with parents Louis McKenzie and Annabella ms McKenzie.
Thanks again Ann it was nice to get the message

Hi GMac,

I'm pleased you had success. It's not easy with so many names the same.
Do you need Roderick's and Christy's death details and parents? I must have missed one of Catherine's siblings, as I have,

Margaret m Rod McIver
Duncan m Elspet McKenzie
John m Jo(hannah) McKenzie
Donald m Ann McIver

Cheers,

Ann

Hi Ann,
           No you haven't missed anyone, checking my records I also only have 5 siblings listed.
I also have a connection to Margaret, she is my Great, Great Grandmother from the Maciver side.
Thanks again Ann.
